Some last photos

This is a view of Maxsea, a chart plotter program that runs on our laptop and is connected to our GPS. Just shows you how way off base the actual GPS was, and it was on BOTH GPS's that we have on our boat. This is because somehow the CHARTS themselves are off the mark - on our boat, Paul's boat, and most other cruisers we met - mainly it happens in Venezuela. Our Raymarine Chart Plotter was also way off in Venezuela - once we got to Bonaire it rectified itself but it's pretty unnerving to try to follow the chart plotter in these waters. You really have to do it by sight. Here we are in Agua Cay, sailing overland, anchoring on land at one point too.


This shows our progress in Spanish Water, the red line shows how we're sailing over land.



The longest floating bridge in the world, in Willemstad, Curacao.
